We reduce the impact of cyber crime by testing and fixing the Human Firewall.

What do we do?

Layer 8 Security reduces the impact of cyber crime by testing and fixing the Human Firewall.

What does that really mean?

Layer 8 Security specializes in Human Security, focusing on the provision of services and solutions, to address the risks Human beings pose to Security.

People are not like technology, you can’t turn them off.

We use a Framework approach to testing, measuring, and base-lining humans to identify the issues and then begin the process to fixing issues, knowledge, behaviour, culture, attitude and perceptions of your staff to minimize the possible impact of cyber crime.

Why do we do it?

Technology alone isn’t the answer. More than 52% of all security breaches are directly due to human error.

The business impact can be seen as corporate reputation loss, leaked intellectual property to competitors, financial loss, or even loss of customer confidence.

Many companies currently have a basic form of security awareness, phishing, some training and then some more phishing.

This wont address behaviour. It only helps the people who may have a little knowledge gap.

The people who don’t care, wont change their behaviour.

How do we do it?

We offer a model to enhance our customers current offering or to help customers get started with Security Awareness

To ensure a complete and comprehensive offering to address our client’s security risks, our services and solutions are tailor designed to address human beings, their Behaviour, Attitudes, Culture, and Knowledge.

Our Baseline allows us to undertake a Gap Analysis of your people, what they know, their average attitude towards security, how your current culture impacts their attitude and finally, their behaviour and how they respond to situations. This baseline / Gap Analysis allows us to start to measure the maturity of your staff and the success of the program.

To enhance this, we can provide a Complete Managed Service, removing the costs and hassles of doing it yourself.
